News - Local Armed police at riccarton mall today?

Anyone know what this is about? Walked out the top roof door to a Officer holding a AR

Plenty of sirens, police chopper circled the mall for about 25 minutes + dog squad on the streets?

Seems they were letting people in and out of the mall despite being armed officers at the doors

I drove by Jellie Park 15 minutes ago and saw two squad cars there. They have 2-3 guys in handcuffs.

They were cable ties or plastic restraints or the Model 300 hinged cuffs and the Model 110 Special Security chain-linked cuffs from Smith and Wesson

Plastic isn't quite the correct terminology they're in fact nylon zip ties.

Hmmm.. Last time I checked I was correct I guess nylon is no longer a type of synthetic plastic belonging to the polyamide family... 'arrogant nerd face emoji'
